Archaeology For The Frivolous

 The Archaeology For The Frivolous The Collection Lincoln

9 Nov 2013 - 31 Dec 2013

 

David Kirshner's exhibition interprets the events surrounding a tram incident in St. Petersburg 1915 which has been lost in time.

Kirshner's work is usually a 'commentary' on an artist or period in art history. This usually encompasses the 18th century, the Baroque and Modernism. For this exhibition Kirshner will be focusing on St. Petersburg 1915. As revolutionary fervour reaches breaking point throughout Russia, a group of artists led by Kasimir Malevich and Natalia Goncharova mount an exhibition of their work at 73 Nevsky Prospect under the banner ‘The First Futurism Exhibition, Tramway V’.

The private view for this exhibition was a lively affair, incurring mostly negative comments from critics as the work displayed was futurist; a style which was still disregarded. The title to the show alone encouraged negative attitudes as there is no Tramway in St. Petersburg with that name. This however was the intent of the artists. After the private viewing there was an incident on a tram further along the boulevard. Possible victims and perpetrators have been lost in time, only Malevich’s two drawings survive of the incident.

Kirshner’s exhibition at the Courtyard gallery is both an interpretation and a frivolous commentary on a night when passions ran high, and political events scattered the protagonists around a Europe never to be the same again.
Kirshner uses a variety of media from wood and metal to printing and photography within his work.

Conversation by Raimi Gbadamosi and Kimathi Donkor @ The Collection, Lincoln 22 November

A talk with Raimi Gbadamosi, curator of 'What's Going On?' exhibition at the Usher Gallery and Kimathi Donkor one of the featured artists of the show on 22 November 2013.

 

 

Professor Raimi Gbadamosi is the second guest artist/curator to create a new hang of Lincolnshire's permanent collections in The Usher Gallery. By working with guest curators to change the displays on a regular basis we aim, in addition to bringing out rarely seen works, to encourage and challenge visitors to see and think about the collections in new ways. Raimi Gbadamosi's selection of works from Lincolnshire County Council’s collections is complemented by loans from other collections and from contemporary artists including works by Kimathi Donkor.

Raimi Gbadamosi is an artist, currently based in South Africa, whose work questions the origins of racial and cultural identity; he brings his own perspective to Lincolnshire’s distinctive collections.
In his paintings Kimathi Donkor explores political and social narratives about race, power and colonialism through the use of conventions in traditional western art.

What's Going On? Gallery tour with curator Raimi Gbadamosi will start at 11 am
The conversation by Raimi Gbadamosi and Kimathi Donkor will follow the schedule below:

Yomping Outside – A Novel by David Zelda

Yomping Outside – A Novel by David Zelda

After a successful 18 year career in The Royal Marines, Nathan Sawyer is at a crossroads in his life, wondering
which path to follow. Fate takes a hand when he witnesses 2 Serbian men beating up a young girl. He intervenes, rescues her and discovers she is a Montenegrin, called Elena Borovic. She and eleven other girls were kidnapped
in Belgrade and for over a year have been forced to live as sex slaves in Liverpool. A rescue is mounted for the remaining girls which plunges Sawyer and his team into the middle of a gang war.

This is a fast paced thriller in the style of a super spy movie, with a likeable hero, beautiful girls, evil crime
lords and fast moving action on an international scale. There is never a dull moment as the action flits
between Liverpool, Leeds, Cyprus and Belgrade, with double crosses and violent altercations at every
turn. In amongst the action is a delicate love story which neatly counter balances the violent
encounters
